Additional documentation required

To ensure your appeal is processed correctly, you must attach the following documents to the template above:

• A copy of your DNI, NIE, or Passport.
• A copy of the original "Notification of Penalty" (notificación de la multa) received via post or from the TESTRA board.
• Any evidence that supports your claim (e.g., photographs, witness statements, or documents proving you were not the driver if the vehicle was sold or stolen).
• A Power of Attorney (if you are acting on behalf of someone else).

Expert Tip: Always keep a copy of your submitted appeal stamped by the office where you filed it. Deadlines for appeals are strictly enforced—usually 20 calendar days from the day after the notification. If you pay the fine with a 50% discount, you lose your right to appeal, so decide your strategy carefully before making any payment.
